My ipod connects to itunes and the computer i'm using but won't let me edit playlists or add/ take away music
I have an iPod touch and whichever device i use to edit my music has the same issue:
i can connect to the computer and my ipod is connected to itunes but i can't edit any of the music through itunes.
other issues include:
- unable to view new playlists created through the ipod itself (since the problem occured)
- unable to use the category tabs to view music by ratings, song names, bands, etc., through ipod (once connected to itunes) but option still available to view through itunes itself
- unable to change any names etc., for playlists
i've checked for software updates and storage usage but all are fine, data analysis under systems reads as normal (the occassional music app crash but that was months before this problem had occurrred)
two thing that have happened recently:
- my graphics/ screen thing-a-ma-bob for my macbook has gone funny (this was my primary devices for loading and editing music for my ipod) and has created difficulty in viewing things through my macbook screen. consequently i:
- recently connected my ipod to the home computer instead as i'm having issues with my macbook (this is a pc but is again well looked after, systmes updates and current programs are all updated)
please could someone help or suggest options for me to try as i'm so confused and would really like to edit my music to my tastes
thanks in advance!

You can only sync with one computer/iTunes library.
If y oare having problem with iTunes not related to syncing try posting in the iTunes for Mac forum
https://discussions.apple.com/community/itunes/itunes_for_mac
Otherwise try restoring the iPod from backup
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

Ipod connection to itune and my computer
Basically, i have an ipod touch 80GB and it seems to freeze my Itunes and the program my computer this is an annoying problem that i really do need solved.
Someone has finally found a solution to this problem and i decided that i would spread the word around ... so here are the steps:
1) Quit iTunes.
2) Delete iTunes from your Applications folder.
3) Go to your ~/Music/iTunes folder. Delete or rename the "iTunes Library" file.
4) Open the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder and look for the backup of your old pre-9 library; it should be dated at about the time you first ran iTunes 9. Copy it back out to the ~/Music/iTunes folder, and rename it to "iTunes Library".
6) Go to <http://support.apple.com/downloads/iTunes8_21> and download iTunes 8.2.1. The page says it's for G3, but the Read Me file says it'll run on G4, G5, and Intel too. Open the diskimage and run the installer.
You should now be able to run iTunes 8.2.1 again.
And your iTunes will restore to before you upgraded and you won't lose anything.
*If you download the iTunes file from the "support.apple" link, and you can't open it, go to http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/06/28/apple-itunes-8-2-and-quicktime-7-6-2-di rect-download-links/ and download "iTunes 8.2 for Windows: iTunesSetup.exe

My daughters locked her phone but the laptop its synced too is broken and she hasn't set up find my phone how do we unlock????
So I'm guessing here, they forgot the passcode? Find My iPhone has nothing to do with forgotten passcode or accessing the phone.
The only way to bypass the passcode it to restore the phone on the computer you normally sync to and restore the backup. However, it appears from what you have typed here, that the computer your normally sync to is broken. The only thing you can do is to use another computer to restore, however you will restore as a new device, since you cannot access the old one. Also, since it is locked, you cannot create a backup either. Not a good situation to be in. -
I have installed elements 1`3 from a disc and cannot expand a version set. Help?
This is PSE 13? If so, it's not a bug, it's a feature. The new adaptive grid view in the organizer, where you see the thumbnails edge-to-edge, doesn't do stacks or version sets. Press. Ctrl+D/Command+D to get back to the old detail view instead.

My daughter forgot her password and now her ipod has locked her out ir says disabled connect to itunes. The computer she last synced to has crashed. How can I unlock this ipod?
The device will have to be restored but without the last computer it was synced to, that's not a possibility.
Take the iPod to an Apple store or Apple certified repair shop.
You will need a computer in order to sync, restore, and update the iPod in the future.
"If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it."

How to disable an ipod touch that won't connect to itunes or the computer
I recently got an ipod touch that was reset before being given to me. It wouldn't connect to iTunes or the computer but would still charge in the USB port. I updated iTunes and tried doing a soft reset holding down home and sleep. Then I realized on the screen that says "connect to iTunes", on the top right it would say "iPod" and in the middle it would show a little lock symbol. I was told this ment it was disabled and that's why it wouldn't work. But how would I restore it or reset it if I cannot get passed the connect to itunes screen and it wont connect to the computer. PLEASE HELP
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

My ipod is stuck at step 9 in this guide. Itunes told me to keep my ipod connected to itunes, and my Ipod shows the Apple logo as it should (though I can´t see any progress bar). Do anybody know how long step 9 takes. I have turned off my firewall.
Please Help!If it happens again and the reset (home + power buttons) doesn't work, just let the battery drain; you'll know when the screen shuts off. Charge it back up and it should be fine. Frankly, I'm surprised this worked for you. Usually I hear people with this problem say that holding both buttons doesn't work, and they have to do the battery drain.
If the issue is incurable next time, you have a one-year warranty from the date of purchase. -

If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

My iPad mini says to connect to iTunes, and I try to restore it, but after its done extracting a message comes up saying that device is not found, is there anyway i can fix this? I don't care if i don't get my stuff back, i just want my iPad restored to its starting settings.
If everything else that you try fails, I would try using another computer. Since you don't care about saving any data, any computer that is running the latest version of iTunes might be able to restore the iPad. You could make an appointment at an Apple Store Genius Bar and they can do it for you.
If that isn't feasible for you, try using a different cable, a different USB port. reboot the computer, and reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen. Then try again. -
